yes try disabling c1e in the bios,and see if noise goes away
also try unplugging the front panel usb headers from the motherboard and see if noise is still heard through your headphones(if usb headphones you would need to try and power them externally,like a usb/3pin plug phone charger ect) ones that htc use

Look in the properties of sound recording devices, and make sure the check box to listen to this device is unchecked in the default device.

check DPC latency. if you have big spikes it'll likely be a driver for something causing the issue. try different drivers for mobo chipset/gfx etc until you find the culprit.
for me, i have a focusrite saffire pro 24, and using the latest firewire driver causes cracking/popping, but switching to the legacy one fixes the issue. don't know if you'll have the same thing with usb tho, but worth a look.

That's useful, thankyou.....will spend some time with drivers!! what a pain. though.
you'll still get crackle if the headphones are usb powered,emi leaks from the usb port into the front panel headphone socket and that's what your hearing
to eliminate it would be to power the headphones from another source or to use non usb powered headphones
could buy a usb extender cable and plug it into the back of pc instead of the front and use the front audio socket

the problem is I already have a good quality sound card and the Logitech z5550 system, which was great until I started getting the crackling! Just added another 770 GTX and unloaded loads of odd drivers I noticed that we not needed. Will test again later and report back my findings.
getting really annoying now, uninstalled loads of drivers and changed but still have the odd popping / crackling noise. Starting to think maybe its the motherboard causing the issues. The only thing I haven't done yet is disconnect the front USB 3 ports as I use them all the time......what are your thoughts please?
I have the Razer Megaladon and have exactly the same issue.
Regardless of what I've tried it just seems to be an issue caused by it being a USB input device. The only luck I've had is using normal headphones plugged into the soundcard.

I have never experienced this before and I have had the same sound card / speaker set-up for a few years now....which makes me think its motherboard related, possibly graphics cards as well......cant be arsed to remove them now though to test.
